Chapter 161: Tan Kah Kee's Surprise
Hearing the guard's report, Cui Xiaobao came to the gate, and saw many young students surrounding there, and when Cui Xiaobao came out, everyone was in a commotion. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
They said: "General Cui, we have all heard about your recruitment of students, and we will also sign up for the army." ”
When Cui Xiaobao heard this, it was for this matter, so he said: "Students, defending the family and defending the country is the same everywhere, you can join your Yunnan Yunnan Army, and you can better defend your hometown." ”
Yunnan is the territory of the warlord Long Yun, and foreign troops cannot intervene. The 35th Army did not openly set up an office, and the name of the 35th Army was the Cui's Transport Company.
Long Yun knew this matter. Because of Long Shenyuan, Long Yun acquiesced. However, they can't recruit troops here, so Cui Xiaobao privately mobilized several of her classmates through Long Guobi. I didn't expect the news to leak out.
The name of Huben is too appealing, and with good treatment, it is naturally one of the hot spots for young students to sign up for the army.
Cui Xiaobao can't promise them, this will cause trouble.
Cui Xiaobao tried his best to dissuade them, but the students just didn't listen, and the number of them increased.
The police in Kunming reported to their superiors, and the news was quickly reported to Long Yun. Long Yun was very satisfied with Cui Xiaobao's attitude of not interfering in Yunnan affairs.
At this time, Long Guobi ran and said, "Dad, you just let Xiaobao and them recruit some more students, we really lack people there." ”
Long Yun thought that it was not good to forcibly disperse the students, and for the sake of his son and daughter's face, he gave them a permission to recruit no more than 100 students.
This decision was exchanged for an affectionate hug from Long Guobi.
Long Guobi returned to the door of the office and shouted: "Students, with the approval of Chairman Long, 100 students can be recruited to participate in the Tiger Ben Army, and everyone can sign up." ”
The students cheered.
Cui Xiaobao said in Long Guobi's ear: "Madam is really amazing. ”
Long Guobi's face turned red, and then he raised his proud little head.
In a rubber plantation in Malaysia, there is an ordinary courtyard, which is the residence of the famous overseas Chinese leader Tan Kah Kee.
On this day, two guests came to their door, a 20-year-old young man in a suit, and a woman in a dress next to him, who was even younger.
Their arrival made the gatekeepers at the gate of the courtyard very nervous. These two young men and women were smiling, but they were very popular, not only did they come in luxury cars, but the bodyguards behind them were tall and murderous.
These two are Cui Xiaobao and Long Guobi, and those people behind them are members of the Tiger Ben Special Combat Team. The important arm of the summer tide is protected by a special combat team by his side.
Tan Kah Kee's housekeeper came out. Cui Xiaobao revealed his identity and said that he was sent by Xia Chao to visit Mr. Chen Jiageng.
Soon, Tan Kah Kee will meet them.
Mr. Tan Kah Kee is 61 years old this year, and his hair has turned gray, but his face is ruddy and his spirit is good.
Cui Xiaobao paid tribute to Mr. Tan Kah Kee on behalf of Xia Chao and handed him Xia Chao's handwritten letter.
Xia Chao's letter was very brief, and it said: "Mr. Chen, the younger generation would like to express their admiration for your patriotic feelings for devoting your life to the cause of education, and express their admiration for your achievements. Do you want to continue to create more brilliance for the education of Chinese people? Rest assured, juniors are not here to sponsor. ”
Tan Kah Kee is a shrewd businessman who once created the myth of the Chinese business world, a poor boy who became a business leader with his hard work and shrewd mind.
His greatest contribution was to support education, and he established hundreds of schools of various kinds. Donations to education, according to 1981 statistics, amounted to $100 million.
In 1932, his excessive support for education led to bankruptcy, and the company was repaid into debt. Now, he has been out of business for 6 years.
For summer tides, he has been known for a long time. Xia Chao's letter aroused his desire, but he was also powerless.
He said: "I understand General Xia's intentions, but I am old and I don't have the financial resources to continue to support education. can only live up to his wishes. ”
Cui Xiaobao said: "Our Commander Xia said that you are a golden mountain with infinite potential. He has a plan, please take a look. ”
Tan Kah Kee had heard a lot of legends about the summer tide, and he also wanted to see what plans the summer tide had that could impress him.
He put on his reading glasses and began to flip through the plan handed over by Cui Xiaobao, looking at it, he became excited and asked, "Is this true?" ”
Cui Xiaobao said firmly: "We, Commander Xia, have never told a lie. ”
Chen Jiageng said: "If this is true, I will agree to your request of Commander Xia, put aside my old bones, and do it." "His old man is actually a hot-blooded man, and his heart is full of passion.
It turned out that the plan for the summer tide pointed out several hitherto undiscovered mineral deposits in Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Australia, including oil, iron, copper and aluminum, all of which are huge reserves and easy to mine.
Xia Chao promised that he would advance all the funds, and Tan Kah Kee would be solely responsible for the operation.
Chen Jiageng's business failed and suffered from the eyes of many people, and he was very unconvinced. Now that he had this opportunity, a strong desire was immediately ignited in his chest.
Xia Chao is right, Tan Kah Kee is a gold mine, he has extremely rich business experience, a wide range of contacts, and now with the support of information and funds, it is easy to create brilliance.
Chen Jiageng agreed to Cui Xiaobao's suggestion and decided to go out of the mountain.
When talking about the distribution of benefits, Cui Xiaobao proposed a fifty-fifty split. Tan Kah Kee thought that his share was too high, and after his resolute request, in the end, he only needed 30% of the shares.
At the suggestion of Xia Chao, Tan Kah Kee kept a low profile and set up several unrelated companies to buy the land where the mine was located, and large-scale development began.
Cui Xiaobao and Chen Kah Kee together straightened out the company's affairs, leaving George and the group of students recruited from Kunming to join the company as a representative of the 35th Group Army to assist Chen Kah Kee in his work.
According to Xia Chao's instructions, Cui Xiaobao left part of the special combat team, recruited a group of Chinese in the local area, and became a hidden armed force in the name of the mine protection team.
Cui Xiaobao and Long Guobi then returned to Wuhan.
During this period, Summer Tide sent a telegram to Hitler, asking Germany to train a group of pilots, artillerymen, and armored personnel for him. He offered Hitler an oil deposit in Germany as a tuition fee.
Hitler agreed to his request.
The summer tide sent Hans back to Germany to deal with the matter specifically.
At this time, the Japanese were not idle, and Matsui Ishine was worried about the summer tide.
